Not sure what to say?

I still think about him. Matthew you came with us one time to Hamilton County.

Wonderful artist!

Jay was my son's neighbor. He made one of his angels for me when my husband died and I have treasured that for the compassion that it represented.
Jay talked of his boundless love for his children and grandchildren. My heart aches for you as I feel your loss. He was such an interesting and sweet man.

I went to school with Jay and graduated with him from North Dallas High School in 1963. He designed and helped to build the drugstore front and table decorations that we used at the 20th reunion. We rented them to other ND groups and then used the money to fund college for deserving North Dallas students. The table decorations are still in service. He left a legacy that continues to help people.
